Sensor Concept • A long, compliant, sealed tube deforms as pressure changes • An optical fiber wrapped around the tube senses the deformation
Effect of geometry on response linear sensors depend on length, signal , and arrival azimuth circular sensors depend on diameter and signal
Conclusions • The OFIS is comparable to the best pipe array from the microbarom band up to 1 Hz • Above 1 Hz, the OFIS is significantly quieter • At long periods, the OFIS needs improvement • The sensor can be made significantly longer to average over a larger region
